Harry Connick Jr. obviously knows a thing or two about the music industry, and he's a big fan of American Idol.

He's also worked as a mentor on the show, and there have been rumors that he's being considered to be a judge on the hit competition series. But on Wednesday's Ellen, the singer-actor set the record straight about his Idol future.

"I've done it twice and I had so much fun, but they haven't said, 'Do you want to be a judge?'" he told Ellen DeGeneres. "Like the security people and a couple of the interns say, 'Oh, you would be a good judge.' I'm like, 'Oh, well, thank you.'"

"But I haven't had an actual talk," he went on. "And then I see online, like, I'm in talks. Even my wife is like, 'Wait, you're in talks with them?' I said, 'No. I'm not.' I haven't talked to anybody."

Ellen asked Harry if he "would like to be a judge if someone would talk to you other than security or interns."
